How we teach must reflect how our students learn. It must also reflect the world our students will move into. This is a world which is rapidly changing, connected, adapting and evolving. Our style and approach to teaching must emphasise the learning in the 21st century..

For those who are just getting to grips with the power of Twitter, e.g. me, the awareness of just how quickly the world around us is changing comes sharply in to focus. pupils in schools today have grown up with this understanding, and we, as educators, have a huge responsibility to bring our practice up to date and in line with this rapidly changing world. Young people can in theory cut themselves off from the world and, through the power of technology keep themselves to themselves, entertain themselves 24/7. They don't need us. But they do, in order to help them grow and develop as human beings, to learn to control the media to which they have such ready access, not to be controlled by it.
